This is my longest post to date, so get ready to scroll, baby, scroll!

Why so long? In this post I am sharing 30+ recipes rounded up for the February 2011 Edition of Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger. I had the pleasure of hosting this edition which spotlights 22 bloggers adopted by admiring fellow foodies.

Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger is a great monthly event started by Sea of Book Of Yum. I am especially pleased by the number of first-time particpants this round and am certain that each one has realized how great a venue this is for making new friends and supporting the gluten-free community. The March sign-up will be up soon back over at Book of Ym.

A BITE FROM SHIRLEY'S POST: "Mary’s blog name, Gluten-Free Spinner, comes from the fact that she spins up one delightful recipe after another and puts her own spin on dishes, as she shares on her About page."

A BITE FROM DIANE'S POST: "While making these brownies the smell coming from the pan really did remind me of making brownies with my mom. They smelled the same. It was a lot of fun to make Kim’s recipe."

A BITE FROM NICOLA'S POST: "The thing that I love about Wendy’s recipes are that her meals always look so tasty, while being totally no-nonsense, family friendly and not terrifying to contemplate cooking. As I have discovered this week, Wendy is also the queen of hiding vegetables in her yummy kid-friendly food."

A BITE FROM VALERIE'S POST ABOUT CARRIE: "I kept reading for the recipes, but I also kept reading because Carrie is incredibly kind and gracious and it completely comes through on her blog, from how she answers comments to how she writes."

A BITE FROM HEATHER'S POST: "This bread doesn’t need a topping. It’s scrumptious just as it is. Why isn’t there a link to Kelly’s site for this recipe? Because you have to buy her book to have the joy of making it. You need to by her book."

A BITE FROM SEA'S POST: "Alisa has had issues with dairy since she was a tiny baby, but she was brought up eating dairy and had no idea it was causing her severe illness until a doctor suggested she go dairy-free and she found her health problems literally disappear overnight. The first recipe I made from Alisa’s blog was actually her Dairy-free Vegan Mint Truffles. I would have taken pictures, but of course by the time I made them it was dark and they just wouldn’t have been pretty by track lighting. But they were both pretty and delicious, trust me."

A BITE FROM CASSIDY'S POST: "I'm sure I'll try many more recipes from Linda in the future. I'm new to gluten free blogging and was really excited to find Linda's site but many people need no introduction to her as she seems to be very popular in the blogging community. Besides just posting recipes, she has a monthly gluten free challenge, monthly clean kitchen challenge, reviews, tips, and so much more."

A BITE FROM DANIELLE'S POST: "I think this is the first recipe that I have made from Affairs of Living, though I have been reading Kim’s blog for some time. Her recipes are always nourishing, beautifully photographed and her enthusiasm for healthy, wholesome eating and living is infectious. Thank you Kim! This fudge recipe is really simple; all you need is a food processor, or vitamix (still trying to convince my husband that I NEED a $600 blender) a loaf pan…oh, and a fridge!"

A BITE FROM JEANETTE'S POST: "One of the gluten-free bloggers I have admired from afar is Heidi of Adventures of a Gluten-Free Mom. Not only does Heidi have celiac, but so does one of her children, and she has another child who is non-celiac gluten-sensitive, along with a casein and egg allergy. Heidi has a terrific collection of gluten-free/dairy(and casein)/egg free recipes, most of which are "normal" recipes adapted to be gluten-free/dairy/egg free."

A BITE FROM MARY'S POST: "I'm joining for the first time this month ***yay Mary!*** and I'm excited to say I've adopted Kate atGluten Free Gobsmacked. I chose to adopt Kate for my first Adopt a Gluten Free Blogger because her site was one of the first gluten free websites I found when I learned of my gluten intolerance ... I really miss Cheez-it Crackers, like reeeeeally miss them—my all time favorite cracker snack. And I couldn't wait to make her recipe."

A BITE FROM KELLY'S POST: "As I was purusing As Good As Gluten's site for recipes to try for this event, I was instantly hooked on the sheer number of easy, kid-friendly recipes. Lots of crockpot dishes and one-pot wonders. This is my kind of simple, convenient comfort food, especially with two small children..."

A BITE FROM DEBI'S POST: "I first went to Alta’s blog, Tasty Eats At Home, after reading another blogger’s adoption post last year. Since then, Alta is my go-to blog when I want something different and vegetarian."

A BITE FROM LAUREN'S POST: "I was shocked, excited, and truly honored to learn someone in blogger-world adopted me! I hadn't heard of Kelly's blog until she adopted me. So, I quickly checked it out and decided I was going to adopt Kelly in return. I love the recipes on her blog and was anxious to try a few."

A BITE FROM ALTA'S POST: "Melissa’s blog is one that I always enjoy reading. She shares recipes, sure, but perhaps even more valuable are her nutritional and health-based stories. I loved her “fuzz” post – worthwhile reading for anyone looking to keep their bodies free from stiffness and inflammation and generally happy and healthy."

A BITE FROM CHRISTINE'S POST: "Since I have found Deanna’s blog, I have been inspired to try experimenting in my baking and that following a recipe isn’t always needed. For example, when she makes cookies with her son, they start with a a base measurement of fat (usually coconut oil) and add appropriate sweeteners and flours based on the consistency and flavours they want – isn’t that cool?"

A BITE FROM WENDY'S POST: "Visit Ellen for more creative gluten-free recipes and to read her diagnosis story. Back in 2005, Ellen pretty much self-diagnosed her celiac disease in the dark ages when some doctors didn’t know if your sister was diagnosed with CD that your alopecia might be CD, too. Sound familiar to anyone?"

A BITE FROM KALINDA'S POST: "I just recently came across Lauren’s site: Celiac Teen. I was immediately drawn in because I’m a sucker for good food photography. And she’s good. After some browsing, it also became clear that she’s quite the baker. (I’m kind of jealous.)"
